Ok so for a bit of fun I thought I would do a Quack of the Year Award, whereby we nominate the most ludicrous inane nonsense and award them with a prestigious title.

How's it going to work?

- The submissions thread will be open until July 23rd, giving us two months to collect suggestions. - The submissions will then be added to a round 1 poll whereby the least popular will be eliminated, the rest will go to round 2. I'm not sure how well this will take off so if there are loads of suggestions we might have to eliminate more than one per round just to get through it quicker.- The rest will go through to round 2 and so on until we have a winner.- Votes will be closed after 2 weeks in each of the rounds

The rules

- Submissions can be articles, audio soundbites, videos etc.- Books do not count as the voters are unlikely to be able to access and read them.- Content submitted has to be accessible to everyone- Content submitted should be of reasonable length, an hour long video for example is probably too long for a lot of us to view so lets say 10 to 20 mins or so.- Content submitted has to have been created/publicised in the last year- Forum members may be submitted as candidates, but keep the rules in mind when doing so.

I have no idea whether this will catch on but I thought it might be fun to try. I may also do a Champion of Reason award for balance

This video has everything from woo to Nazis, hits all the top 10 quack points! Did I mention he's an AIDS denialist? I'll take my trophy now...

I know how low brow it is to pick an obvious candidate but I nominate Andrew Wakefield. He is directing a "documentary" based on his lies, and it is going to get a dvd release. I think he's relevant because it's 2016 and he is still peddling his lies to anyone who will listen and judging by it's viewer count it is getting attention.

The "Health Ranger" is bad but he is merely a carrier of the disease of ignorance, Wakefield is patient zero. This disease has a body count, Wakefield's crap is killing people and he doesn't care so long as he keeps making money and getting press.

Hang on. This idiot wants us to turn Hubble around to look at Earth, failing to understand that, if the planet were not a rotating spheroid, Hubble couldn't actually stay in orbit, but thinks the planet is flat?

What a fucking moron.

Honestly, don't ever put me on telly, because I'll fuck these cretins up the ass, and I don't fucking mean donkey.

I watched some of the video a while back as I was linked to it by a friend of mine.

Its one of the worst Gish-gallops that I've ever seen.

Unfortunately the friend who linked it was taken in by it. He still hasn't responded to the picture I've sent that shows the moon being flipped in different hemispheres, or the video I sent of a ship going over the horizon....
